About Me
I'm Saif Hussain, a Mathematics & Computer Science student at the University of Birmingham with a passion for building efficient digital solutions that enhance user experiences.
My academic journey has equipped me with strong analytical skills and a deep understanding of algorithms, data structures, and software development principles. I excel in courses like Data Structures & Algorithms (77%), Mechanics (84%), and Functional Programming (72%).
Beyond academics, I've applied my skills in real-world settings through various projects and professional experiences. From developing the first unified web-based HMO application form across London boroughs to creating automated stock checkers for pharmacies, I enjoy solving practical problems with technology.
I'm fluent in English and Arabic, and proficient in programming languages including C, Haskell, Python, and JavaScript. I'm always eager to learn new technologies and methodologies to expand my skill set.
